No dashboard or rear position lights

Good day. Yesterday everything was OK, but suddenly dashboard lights have come off, as the rear position ones. However, headlights (both medium and high), brake lights, anti fog and reverse lights work OK. What can it be?

I don't know the TD5 but: fuse, short, bad earth?

Fuses OK, relays OK, not an obvious short..... have checked all earth with no result

Is your rear number plate light working?

Are the front side/park lights working?

Is the cigarette lighter illumination working?

[Gromit]

looking at the wiring diagram, the dash illimation goes as follows:

lighting switch -> fuse 12 -> header 290 -> bulbs

This should be very easy to trace with a multimeter.

The left rear lighting is as follows:

lighting switch -> fuse 11 -> header 288 -> number plate & tail light

The right is a bit more convoluted and goes through the dimdip relay (which you probably don't have) and the the dash warning light.

The only common thing is the lighting switch AFAIK.

Thanks a lot Gromit, It finally were fuses 11 and 12, as you said. It's almost incredible, but my fuse cover sticker have a wrong positions printed.....

Ahh, explains why you gave different fuse positions the last time you had electrical problems with your dash.

There was a thread a while back with photos of the fuse stickers, not sure if it had TD5 though.
